This week the flashback comes from August 2007 and was when the boys were nominated for a meme. I have translated it into English from Catspeak.
The Five Things Meme.
We were tagged by Luxor to tell about 5 things that changed our lives.
1.Well the biggest change was when the Girl where we were born took us and our brofurr and sisfurr indoors for two Beans to look at. Until then we lived in the barn with our kitty mum and all the cows, and we had never been in the indoors before. We were about 5 weeks old and loved our kitty mum, but a bad tomcat was keep coming around and the Girl was afraid that he would kill us. The Beans chose the two of us, and because we could eat proper food, they took us to our forever home the next day.We didn't know it then, but we were going to keep an old ladycat company. We really loved her right away, but she didn't like us at first. We made her love us though and she soon went everywhere with us. She was always a little girl who weighed 6lbs.
2. The second thing that changed our lives was when Kitty Yumbum had to go to the Bridge. Her kidneys were not very good, and mum had to keep giving her injections. The time between injections was getting shorter and shorter, and the Beans knew she wouldn't be with us much longer. One day when she finished eating, she went outdoors and couldn't stop yacking, and kept falling over. Mum knew it was time and rang the V E T. He was a very nice man for a V E T, and he came to our house so's not to stress Kitty YB, and gave her an injection to make her tired while mum cuddled her. Then he gave her another one to send her to the Bridge. We knew her for two years and we really really loved that old lady. We were about eighteen months old in the photo with her.
3. The third thing that changed our lives was the worst ever. We were allowed outdoors all on our own because it is safe here. When we were two, Eric kept going for longer walks on his own. Mum had to keep going out looking for him. One day dad saw him down the next farm where all the working woofies are, and he called him, but he wouldn't come back. The Beans walked across all the fields together calling him,but he still wouldn't come back. Mum said,"Right that's it, he could have been attacked by dawgs. Those boys aren't going out on their own again." So because of Eric we can only go for walks with mum now.
4.The fourth thing that changed our lives was when mum googled "Ginger Cats" and found Fat Eric's blog. She helped us to email him, and he suggested we get our own blog. We're so glad we did because just look at all the friends we have made. We love you all!
5. Fifth but certainly not least was meeting our girlcat furrends Grr and Rosie. Life has been even better for us since then.
We have been a long time getting around to putting up this Post so we don't know who has and hasn't been tagged. If you haven't been, consider yourself tagged now.

That was a sweet post with so many precious memories.
ReplyDeleteThis was the most enjoyable post ever. I loved ;earning more about the boys, their lives, their kitty relatives and everything you told us about their lives. And most of all, that they came to live with you and they lived happily ever after. The dearest boys.
ReplyDeleteHow cool, learning about Eric and Flynn's early days! I didn't know there was a cat before them at home.
ReplyDeletelove it!!!! and we love the way you came to blogging... it was the same here... we found olive and her mom said we should have our own blog ;O)
ReplyDeleteAww! I agree what a nice post so cute too was a pleasure to read it, loved the photos and the vividnes on the art version :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a safetastic weekend 😷😷😷

ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
What fun to think back and we remember Luxor and of course, lovable Fat Eric ... but the story of how Eric and Flynn came to the farm: we did not know! Wonderful to now know the beginnings of this amazing tale of two!
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun post...and it helped us remember those things about Eric and Flynn. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun flashback and with you 3 handsome Gingers.
ReplyDeleteLuxor, Flynn and Eric...I could not tell you apart
Sending hugs to you Angels and your Mom and Dad.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Sweet Blessings, Deborah
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd never seen the pic of the boys with their mum before. So lovely to them togetherxoxox
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this and learning more about you two. I didn't know about Kitty Yumbum (love the name) and got the sadz reading about her passing.
ReplyDeleteYour humans just wanted you to be safe...those dogs could have hurt you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the puzzle...off to play!
It is so wonderful you have all of these memories especially written down into posts. I'm sure it brings back lots of good thoughts in your mind when you go back and see them. Love the artwork.
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to learn more about you two and The Kitty Who Came Before ! You are all loved and remembered !
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful life story you have!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this so much since we missed much of your boyz stories. That baby picture...OMC!
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think 'the worst rthing ever' was that bad. I think the boys were much safer with their mum accompanying them. Who knows what would have happened otherwise.
ReplyDeleteAnd Fat Eric. Ah, I remember him...
Whoa! I learned a lot about you guys! For one, I didn't know you both had girlfurrends. MOL! Time to do the puzzle. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to learn more about Eric and Flynn. I am sorry they didn't have more time with Kitty Yumbum. That is a cute random photo. Thank you for the puzzle. XO
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed reading that story, we didn't know about Kitty YumBum ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteLovely post and art!
ReplyDeleteWe love this flashback so much, especially how Eric and Flynn came to live with you. And how they got to know and love YumBum for a little while. XO
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post with so many good memories. So sad about Kitty YumYum, but so pleased that the Angels got along so well with her. I think that enriched all of their lives. That was a very scary adventure of Angel Eric and such a good decision from the Bean 😸Pawkisses for a Happy Sunday at the bridge, sweet Angels and a soft one for your mom🐾😽💞
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely memories - all from before We "met" the Boys! And lovely pics too!
